Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team gears up to defend its Sydney title this weekend after last season's stunning victory. Strategist Hannah Mills OBE expresses excitement to return, following a strong start to the 2026 Season with a win in Perth and a P2 in Auckland. "Sydney is the most iconic place to sail," Mills states, highlighting the challenging racecourse around Shark Island. Emirates GBR sits second on the season leaderboard, tied on 19 points with Australia's BONDS Flying Roos, who lead due to a recent higher finish. The ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix featured intense competition, with a collision between New Zealand's Black Foils and DS Automobiles Team France leaving only 11 teams for Sydney. This year’s event introduces twilight racing, promising an electrifying spectacle on Sydney Harbour. Driver Dylan Fletcher MBE emphasizes the need to stay focused on the long season ahead while aiming for victory.
